I've been storing recipes in git for years, also in markdown so I can edit/view on pretty much any device with a markdown viewer/editor. This post has made me interested in using a markdown rendered to display them on my personal site!

Is there an open recipe format? There really should be, if you think about it, a recipe is basically a program: pragmatic, universally interpretable and should produce identical output (provided similar input and execution...)

Would set us up nicely for automated chefs :)

I would be satisfied with any recipe format that doesn't include several paragraphs of text about how the author feels about the food, what they did the last time they made it, why they are writing about it, etc. Ingredients, steps, period.

He. That's one of the things I love most about seriouseats. They separate in different pages the recipe, as terse as it can be, and the "how it works", that includes all the other fluff, and I read if I'm in the mood.

I believe there's an extension that helps with that.
